Asbestos removal for Hearnden Green properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about textured coatings and loft water tanks.
In a village like Hearnden Green, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Reports and results you can share

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hearnden Green
Do you cover Hearnden Green and the area around Headcorn station?
Yes. Headcorn station is about 1.8 miles south of Hearnden Green, and we cover both.
Could my house in Hearnden Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hearnden Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
